The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has officially revised the KCET 2026 exam date timeline and the registration schedule for the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) 2026. According to the latest notification, the online application process opened on January 17, 2026, and candidates can now apply for KCET 2026 until February 17, 2026.

KEA has also removed previously announced exam dates from its official website, and the new KCET 2026 exam date has not yet been announced. Students are advised to wait for further updates from KEA regarding the exam schedule.

Revised KCET 2026 Registration Details

  • Last date to submit application: February 17, 2026

  • KCET 2026 exam date: To be announced

KEA removed the earlier schedule—which had tentative dates in April or May—from its official portal; these earlier timelines are no longer valid.

Registrations continue under the revised schedule, and aspirants must complete the process by February 17, 2026 to be eligible for the entrance test once the exam dates are declared.
